In the spring of 2001, in New Delhi India, people began to report strange sightings and attacks of a 'monkey-man.'The police released a corny cartoonish sketch of the monkey-like attacker, who 'had claws for hands,' and went about jumping around the streets and alleys attacking innocent people as they slept. Fear and paranoia struck New Delhi as hundreds of reports came in about monkey-man attacks. Neighbors formed vigilante groups, the police formed a special unit, and politicians accused pakistan of sending a robot spy. All of this took place, reported on CNN, ABC, NBC, and David Letterman even had a top ten list about the nefarious Monkey-Man of India. People actually died. People were injured, but to this day, nobody really knows what 'monkey-man' really was. Later police, after taking part in the hysteria themselves, declared Monkey-Man a hoax.
